Material or immaterial, owned or desired, enjoyed or suffered: wealth is a state of mind, a condition of existence, a concept, a curse. I have tried to gather all the different faces I feel exist inside the word itself, collecting different photographic works hinting at one or another of the many meanings it can have. We often say photography can trap its own subjects, or on the contrary it can express the impossibility to grasp them.The new issue of Landscape Stories, 'Wealth', has been my chance to test photography and its ability to represent, or its failure to express the difference between owning and wanting.
